Yes. Sharing addresses and phone numbers helps remove duplicate data entry, preventing a risk of data entry error. Once a change is made on a shared address, it will update all of the shared addresses.

Note: For 7.94 versions and above of The Raiser's Edge, only addresses can be shared.

Note: Contact sharing is removed in The Education Edge version 7.87 patch 3 and higher if The Education Edge is integrated with The Raiser's Edge. If your Education Edge database is not integrated with The Raiser's Edge, contact sharing functionality is unchanged in 7.87 patch 3 and higher.
